Global Shift from Coal Challenges India’s Energy Sector Amid Continued Fossil Fuel Subsidies
Global financial institutions are increasingly restricting coal financing as the world shifts away from fossil fuels, challenging India's coal-dependent energy sector and export competitiveness due to carbon pricing mechanisms like the EU's CBAM. While renewable energy adoption faces storage capacity limitations, public sector investments and subsidies continue to support fossil fuels, with governments increasing support amid rising oil and gas prices. This dynamic highlights tensions between market trends, government policies, and the pace of energy transition.
